They had shown obvious feelings towards each other, although they could not be together. Due to the fact that they were both Councillors, they could not have any romantic relationship with anyone (including getting married and having children, of course).

These two cared about each other a lot.

Councillor Kenric and Councillor Oralie

Being councillors, they could not be together unless they resigned. One is dead.

When Kenric agrees with Oralie on a council decision, Bronte responds sarcastically with, "Of course you do," and Sophie notes that Kenric did seem to favor Oralie over all the other councillors. ( Page 118 hardcover ).

Kenric states that he was the elves favorite Councillor and changes that to second favorite and says "everybody loves empaths" implying Oralie

After Kenric tries to see in Fintan's mind, Oralie soothes his headache and he tells her that she "always makes everything better." They smile at each other, her hand touching his head, in full view of Alden, Tiergan, Sophie, Fitz, and Councillor Terik Page 291 ( hardcover )

Oralie is the only councillor sobbing when Kenric dies. All the others try to comfort her.
